Where is the oldest rock layer in an undisturbed rock sequence?
In an undisturbed rock sequence, the oldest rock layer is typically found at the bottom. This is due to the principle of superposition, which states that in sedimentary rock layers, younger layers are deposited on top of older ones. Thus, as you move upwards through the sequence, the age of the rock layers decreases.
What does the Sun give off that gets through the ozone layer?
Wavelengths of UV-A, visible, and near infrared get past the ozone layer (and the layers above it). Wavelengths starting with microwaves and longer get selectively through to Earth's surface, as there is some absorption by water vapor and other constituents of lower atmospheric layers.
Why are the ozone and troposphere layers not considered main atmospheric layers in the atmosphere?
ozone is not considered as a layer because it is very thin. Troposphere is considered a layer.
What kind of layers include the mesosphere?
The mesosphere is an atmospheric layer, which can also be considered a collection of layers. The mesosphere lies above the stratosphere but below the thermosphere, the other two "middle" layers of the atmosphere.
Which rock layer was deposited last?
The topmost rock layer is the one that was deposited last, as rock layers are typically deposited in a vertical sequence with the oldest layers at the bottom and the youngest layers at the top.
How do the atmospheric layers affect human life?
The atmospheric layers affect human life. These layers are layers of air.
How do atmospheric layers differ?
The five layers of the atmosphere have different atmospheric temperature that occurs with increasing altitude. The layers also thin out with height from the surface.
What is the refraction of light through air layers of different densities called?
The refraction of light through air layers of different densities is called atmospheric refraction. This phenomenon causes the path of light to bend as it passes through the different layers, resulting in optical effects such as mirages.
Where is the oldest rock layer in an undisturbed rock sequence?
In an undisturbed rock sequence, the oldest rock layer is typically found at the bottom. This is due to the principle of superposition, which states that in sedimentary rock layers, younger layers are deposited on top of older ones.

Determines the temperature of atmospheric layers?
altitude
How do you determine the sequence of events in rock layers?
The sequence of events in rock layers can be determined through the principle of superposition, which states that in any undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest rocks are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom. Fossils found in the rock layers can also help determine the relative age of the rocks and the sequence of events that occurred. Additionally, geologists use techniques such as radiometric dating to determine the absolute age of rocks within the sequence.
What atmospheric layers protects from UV rays?
The stratosphere
What is the earth's atmospheric layers is the closest to the earth?
The troposphere.
A mirage is a result of atmospheric?
refraction
What is the correct order of the earth's atmospheric layers starting with the surface?
The correct order of Earth's atmospheric layers starting at the surface is the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
What is the temperatures of the atmosphere?
the tempetature varies in each of the atmospheric layers; search up in Google images "Temperature of atmospheric layers" for a graph image. It's sure to help :)
What is the order of atmospheric layers?
the layers of the atmosphere in order are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
